IMO he should take a look under the car shortly after parking it every time he's been out for a good 10+ mile drive.
If he sees any spillage then pop the hood and look around. See if you can figure out where it came from.

sorry for the confusion, yes ive seen coolant two times. only twice, and that was the two times i took a short trip and parked it, then came back about five minutes later to about a half gallon of coolant under the engine on the ground. All the other times ive had to add small amounts but could never see any on the ground or could find any leaks. Now on my trip to and from and driving around in florida i never saw a leak, but found that it was about an inch lower in the reservoir . . .

The only time ive seen coolant on the ground are the two times i drove for about 8 miles and i watched it dump about a half gallon under the engine. As far as the cap being sealed, there is a sign on the backside of the reservoir where it looks like coolant has dripped down the side of the reservoir from the cap. I cleaned it up a little bit last night but i will take a picture on my lunch break and post it up. But other than that, i have never seen any leaks

leaky coolant overflow cap problem.
I think there is a TSB out on this.
Is the cap OEM or aftermarket?
